Unless you have been living under a large rock, you will have certainly heard of the ‘Global Financial Crisis’ or the ‘sub-prime mortgage crisis’ that shook the world in mid to late 2007. In the short space we have today, it would be impossible to give this huge financial event the in-depth analysis it deserves. In future posts we will touch on some of the main points and discuss how it is related to issues of borrowing, lending, financial management and banks.

I actually find the financial crisis fascinating, its geeky I know, but it has huge implications about how we manage our money on an individual, national and international stage.

Over the next few weeks we’ll try and ‘unpack’ this monstrosity. As boring as you might think the Global Financial Crisis was it can provide us with some very important lessons on how we can handle our money responsibly.

We are going to have a number of guest writers discussing the implications of the Global Financial Crisis so stay tuned.
